Yes I have the same symtom, complusion, anger, mood swings when (if by chance) on gluten. i do take sme vitamins but I dont see the difference. The main thing is to avoid gluten. If I keep my diet my mood is stable and I feel okay. (In spite of normal daily problemsolving issues.)

Ooooohhhh, yeah! I have mood swings, depression, horrible bouts of indecision, and a lack of focus that almost cost me my job before I realized that my problem was gluten.

Someone also mentioned hormones - I have PMDD and started on YAZ last year, about four months after beginning the gluten free diet. It has made a big difference, but I'm sure that the gluten free diet has made an even bigger difference. On those occasions that I am accdientally glutened, I find the next entire cycle is much more difficult, so it must throw everything out of balance.

Amazing, how one little food ingredient can turn a person's entire life completely inside-out.

I also take a really good multi vitamin, as well as B-Complex and Calcium and Magnesium. If I forget to take them for a couple days, I can definitely feel the difference (fatigue, malaise, etc.).

I've only been gluten free for 3 days now, but I feel like a completely different person! I am normally VERY moody, snap easily at my daughter and on the verge of tears very often.

I feel so great!

I think maybe some people who get grumpier after going gluten free may not be getting enough carbs in their system. I know that carbs can affect mood, and when you go gluten free, your choices can be so limiting.

As far as being frustrated when you're out and about and suddenly need something to eat-do what i do...always have something with you! A gluten free snack bar, fruit, pack of tuna, some nuts-whatever you can eat. takes the frustration out of the situation pretty easily.

I am so glad you are having a good response to the diet. For some of us another possible factor with mood swings after going gluten free is that they will go through withdrawl. Not everyone experiences this but for some the first week is a real tough time. It sounds like you are coping with this well and the suggestion to always have a safe food with is a real good one.

Ugh me too. I get terrible mood swings. I get so b%$@#y that even i hate myself when i get like that. The bad thing is that i say bad rude comments to my husband in front of ppl, and i know im coming across as the mean controlling witch. Its uncontrollable, im not normaly like that, before i was celiac i was shy,quiet and everyone saw me as that nice girl. But now i believe ppl see me as the rachet mean wife. Lol i just feel bad for my husband, cus he has to deal with me.

I am also very angry and moody when I get glutened, and it's a total jekyl and hyde thing. I'm normally very calm, focused, and nice, but if I ingest gluten, I suddenly turn into a crazy person with irrational outbursts of anger. I call it the "gluten furies." :D I have found that cranking up some loud music and going for an "angry run" really helps to get out that burst of negative energy. It doesn't solve the problem completely, but it helps.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By Wends · Posted

      Hi RMJ. I read your post. Sounds like you need a second opinion? Have you been advised by Dietitian or referred to one? There are protocols for treating patients that have ongoing celiac disease antibodies / histology. Particularly as you have nausea and pain. You probably already know about the gluten contamination elimination diet. It may be that you are super sensitive to even the allowed 20parts per million gluten in certified gluten free flours and products? An elimination of all grains for a time may be necessary? Especially oats if you currently include them? It’s worth noting that a minority of Celiacs have oat intolerance and T cell response similar to gluten (particularly carriers of high risk HLADQ2.5), and ongoing celiac damage to the gut can occur with oats. Even certified gluten free oats. If you are already super strict and careful about cross contamination, do you eat cheese or have any cow’s milk in your gluten free diet? It’s often overlooked, even by specialists and Celiac dietitians. But there are case study reports in children. There’s a study in adults showing mucosal reaction to casein in Celiacs, and quoted 50% of Celiacs react to casein similar to gliadin because of molecular mimicry. Then there was this letter to the editor following up a case that states, ”We conclude that given this novel information, pediatric, and possibly adult, celiac disease patients with suspected “refractory” celiac disease and no detectable gluten exposures, should be trialed on a combined CMP-GFD with close monitoring for disease activity resolution prior to consideration of more restrictive diets…” (Jericho H, Capone K, Verma R. Elimination of Cow’s Milk Protein and Gluten from the Diet Induces Gut Healing in “Refractory” Pediatric Celiac Patients. Ann Pediatr. 2021; 4(2): 1082.) CMP-GFD: cow’s milk protein-gluten free diet. Hope you figure it out.

      Symptoms - Ulcers & Cough

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @BlakeAlex! Is this the GI Reset product you are using?: https://inwellbio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/GI-Reset_Info-Sheet.pdf There is a lot of weird stuff in that you could be reacting to. Personally, I would discontinue it as I doubt it's really doing you any good anyway. Getting to the point where you are truly eating gluten free consistently usually involves a significant learning curve as gluten is hidden in the food supply in many ways by manufacturers. For instance, would you ever expect to find it in soy sauce or Campbell's tomato soup? But it's there and a main ingredient. Getting rid of macro sources of gluten is relatively easy. Just cut out bread, cake and pasta. But avoiding the hidden sources and the cross contamination sources is much harder. I am including this article that might be of help to you as a new celiac in getting off to a good start:    Long-term undiagnosed celiac disease inevitable leads to nutritional deficiencies because of the damage done to the lining of the small bowel where almost all of the nutrition in our food normally is absorbed. We routinely recommend that newly diagnosed celiacs invest in some quality gluten-free vitamin and mineral supplements. And I'm talking about more than a multivitamin. We recommend a high potency B-complex, 5-10,000 IU of D3 daily, Magnesium glycinate, and zinc. I suspect your mouth and throat ulcers are nutritional deficiency related. Costco is a good place to get good quality gluten-free vitamin and mineral supplement products at a reasonable price. Are you on medications? May we ask your relative age?

      Symptoms - Ulcers & Cough

      By BlakeAlex · Posted

      Hello, I was recently diagnose with Celiac Disease and without realizing, I had every symptom on the list. Now I am moving as fast as I can to a total recovery. I thought I was doing well but I notice my ulcers on my tongue and throat and cough are starting to come back again.  Has anyone experience these symptoms? Also, I am incorporating GI Reset powder for a jump start to recovery.  Thanks in advance, Blake

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By trents · Posted

      No. There is no damage done to the gut lining with NCGS.

      Hi Trents, Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I do have concerns about NCGS. Would this show up if I did the endoscopy testing?
